Classes 10,12 students of Bihar have been using the #postpone_biharboardexam2021 to highlight their request to postpone the exams. Citing lack of online classes throughout last year, the students have been saying that they are not prepared for the exams and need more to prepare themselves.

One of the students asked that on what basis is the Bihar government asking the students to appear for the board exams.

“No online classes, no reduction in the syllabus, no offline classes then on what basis BSEB expects us to write the exam”, a student named Sakshi said.

Another student shared a message directed towards the state government saying, “You have opened the schools in January and are expecting to appear for the exams in February. How can we prepare for the exams within a month?”.

As the online classes were delayed or were irregular throughout the last year, the students have been unable to complete their syllabus or have to rely on self studies.

“Please postpone our exams sir. We have not completed our syllabus yet. Try to understand you have not provided us online classes. Now we are trying to complete our syllabus by self study so please give us a little time”, said another student.

Citing disturbance created due to COVID-19 curbs, one of the students said, “Please postpone our exams sir. We have not completed our syllabus yet. Try to understand you have not provided us online classes. Now we are trying to complete our syllabus by self study so please give us little time”.
